THE mining industry is justly COM
handing the attention in the east that
it is entitled to, and we should feel as
surred that an era of prosperity is in
store for us. The large list of mines
that are now being operated proftably
throughout the Union is an evidence
that they are being managed with
judgement and will be the means of
turning the surplus capital that is now
lying Idle into the channels Of mining.
That there is a good field for opera
tons in this district cannot be denied
The advantages of having the largest
field Of coking coal in America close to
the mining district makes it possible
for ore to be treated at a small expense;
while railroads are building into the
heart of the district that will give us
cheap transportation for our produc.
ton of ore or bullion, and also make
it possible to work the large bodies of
Xead Gre in our district at profit. Ma
tyre has given us a bountiful supply of
hidden wealth that requirers the
assistance of capital to open up and
when we begin to ship ore our camp
will become Il greater centre of attrac-
lion than ever.

AT ENGLISH HALL.

Rev. Josiah Strong Breaches an Inte r. estfng SermOn-Auther ofSOur Coun. try.''
 Rev. Josiah Strong preached most inter esting sermon at English Hall last night to good sized audience. Hesaid that as God is our creator and master so is he our redeemer. We belong to God Nobody should use his soul and body as his own. Like man who is living on land not his own and refuses to move when told to go by it's owner, so are we living in robbery of God when refusing to take the obligations laid down to us by him and knowing of such obligations. Don't think for an instant that you belong to your self, for God owns the world. God is not a tyrant; thousand times no. He wants us to serve him faithfully. He desires our love. taking on the yoke of the Lord at once. Make no delay, Lead good Christian lives, everyone ot you.
 Mir Strong was originally from Hudson, Ohio. He gained his first celebrity by writ ing "Our Country" 8 book which has had an enormous sale. He secretary of the State Home Missionary society of Ohio, and 8 graduate Of the Western Reserve. He was pastor of the Central Congregational church of Cincinnati, Ohio, but resigned to take the secretaryship of the National Evangelical Reliance, position offered him by his hav- ing written "Our Country" His headquar- ters are at the Bible House building, New York, but he is travelling good share of the time looking after the interests of the Reliance.
 After the sermon last night an after meet ing was held and nearly all stayed. Several rose for prayers.

sA Man Who Was Stolen when A
 Child At Last Finds His Mother.
 CINCINNATI, March 18.-The Charley Ross abduction case has found parallel in this city with a much more gratifying sequel. A few days ago a story was published here that Frank Mercy, a man forty-two years of age, living in Owen county, Ky, had been told by his foster father that he {Morey) had been Kidnapped when ten years of age, but could not tell who his parents were or where they lived. Mercy has been looking for his rela- tives for years and the account of his re- markable history was published here few days ago and attracted general attention Among those who saw it was Mrs. Harriet Williams, poor widow, who lives on Stone street. Her son was stolen when lad ten years old and she had never heard of him. With trembling and eager hand sbe ad- dressed letter to Morey asking him to call and see her, which he did yesterday. They were only together few minutes when the joyful dis covery was made. Morey's real name is James E. Williams. He is married and has several children and is the happiest man in | the world to-day. The heartless companions | of his younger days had twitted him upon l being an illegitimate offspring and he could not rest under it.

THE FUNERAL OF MRS. NEEBE

Thousands Turn Out to Witness the
 Demo onstration in Honor of the An
 archfst's Wife.
 CHICAGO, March 13.-It is estimated that between twenty thousand and thirty thou sand people turned out to-day to witness the demonstration at the funeral of Mrs. Oscar Neebe, wife of the condemned anarchist No disturbance occurred and the proceedings were devoid of anything sensational. Funeral services were held at Mueller Hall at North avenue and Sedgwick street, and around the hall thousands of people stood for hours waiting patiently to witness the procession. Within the hall stood the coffin containing the remains of Mrs. Neebe completely surrounded by 8 bower of beautiful flowers and plants. The face of the dead looked calm and peaceful. The hall was elaborately draped, producing a striking effect. From early in the morn ing till o'clock hundreds of people crowded times the rush was great and the noise and confusion almost intolerable. The funeral services began with the rendition of Goethe's songs by male chorus and then George Sehilling made an address in which he spoke of Mrs. Neebe as wife and mother in affecting and elo- quent terms. The Franz Apt qusrtette sang a hymn. Resolutions of coRdolence were read and then Paul Gratthau delivered a speech in German. He said Mrs. Neebe had died of broken heart-a victim of cruel so- ciety-leaving behind those who are perse- cuted with 8 brutality that has no parallel. He said: sOur hour has not yet come. Still my duty and my conscience makes it imperative that I lift my voice to accuse that society whose victim she on the bier before us is. From this bier 8 call shall go forth to the powerful and the rich eautioning them as to the fruit age of their own storm seed." After song by a male chorus resolutions were adopted to the effect that the people here assembled pledge themselves to employ all honorable means to restore Oscar Neebe to his children, free man; failing in this to held themselves responsible for the proper training and education of his children A number of letters of coincidence were read and then the services in the hall were con cluded

niac In a Moody Meeting.
 CHICAGO, March 13-Alfred T. Dutton,
 bookkeeper for w. H. Mooney & Co.,, is now
 in the insane department of the county jail,
 a raving maniac. He developed his mental
 malady while attending the meetings of
 Moody and Murphy. It was at Farwell Hall
 last night, where MT. Murphy held meet ing, that he first showed unmistakable evil dence of violent insanity. He was sitting in the middle of the hall with lady and insist ed on singing and praying all the time. He was very violent when removed and bit one of the attendants of the jail before he could be secured in leather wristlets and put into the padded room. When seen by reporter this morning Dutton was lying on the couch in his cell, his coat off, his vest unbuttoned. and his hands inelosed in the muffs. The night attendant said the unfortunate man had no sleep last night, but spent the time pacing the cell, muttering religious exelama- tions and quoting scripture. When the cell door was opened this morning he sprang from his couch and asked "Has dear Jesus come p Then he started off in incoherent mutterings and finally made break to get out of the cell, but the door closed on him. He has been confidential clerk of the western branch of w. M. Mooney & Go. and had been in the employ of the company at Montreal for number of years. He is un- married, his only relative here being a brother. Another brother IS Captain Dutton, of the Cunard line, who is famous for the great number of times he has crossed the ocean. Mir. Burbank, Dutton's superior in the office, says: "When Dutton came here about four years ago he was very religious, but after awhile he seemed to lose great deal of it and when he got mad he would into the habit of drinking more than he ought, but soon cured him of that. Lately he became religious again and he attended those meetings so much that I told him he would have to confne himself to business during business hours. I have noticed that for several days he has been acting a little queer, but thought little of it.''
